Two or three scenarios in weeks. Already proven elsewhere, so far easier to defend to the authorities.
A site or building
with no clear use?
From uncertainty to concrete, defensible options.
What has worked elsewhere,
in comparable contexts
Vacant land, buildings to renovate or repurpose, new-build projects
Concrete directions to move forward
Where project owners
see the strongest results
Vacant land,
nothing decided
An empty building,
costs still running
A listed building,
almost nothing you can touch
A constrained structure,
few options left
Mixed-use zoning,
and what goes inside?
Affordable housing,
and what actually makes sense
A stuck project,
authorities or neighbours
A tender, and
the same ideas every time
A few concrete cases
Empty for years. Approved by the municipal council.
Everyone in Préverenges knows the old Auberge de l'Etoile. A listed building, right in the centre, closed for years. You walk past, and nothing changes. Our case study found it a use: student housing and a restaurant for the village. The municipal council approved. The project is being built.
Municipality of Préverenges
A gap in the market. And the return that came with it.
A strategic plot, a building fit for demolition, and a mixed-use zoning imposed by the district. That left the real question: what goes inside. Our case study identified what the area was missing, and what it was worth. A medical hub with its associated retail, completed by housing.
Private investor, Switzerland
Three plots, three zonings, one direction.
Three vacant plots in Ecublens, a stone's throw from EPFL, with three different zonings: residential on one side, activity on the other. Everyone saw the potential differently. Our case study set out what was feasible on each, what could be defended, and how the whole held together.
Municipality of Ecublens
A tender won.
A major mixed-use development on a strategic site in Geneva: hotel, retail, apartments, parking. Over 500 million. At that level, everyone knows how to build. What makes the difference is the concept. We brought ideas already proven elsewhere that nobody had yet brought here. The consortium won the selection.

As real estate and city professionals, we are facing two major challenges: The scarcity of buildable land and the mutation of lifestyles. Explore 3 trends that become permanent and the latest thought leadership around these topics.
Your site is waiting for a direction. Every month has a price.
If you hold a plot, a building or a project and the right option isn't obvious, you don't need another report.
You need two or three solid directions, already proven elsewhere, that you can defend to a municipality, a board or an investor.
That's exactly what we do.
